A year after LA Fitness went dark on Rockville Pike, it’s poised to reopen as a luxury gym with a new identity: Club Studio. This is the latest concept from Fitness International, which owns LA Fitness but is now looking to compete with higher-end chains like Life Time and Equinox. (Membership at Club Studio’s Virginia gyms ranges from $169 to $249 per month.) In addition to strength and cardio equipment, Club Studio offers five types of classes: cycling, boxing, yoga, Pilates, and cross-training in the style of Orangetheory. Some locations also feature extras like cryotherapy and hydro-massage beds. The Rockville location, on the second floor of the NoBe Market shopping center, will be the first Club Studio in Maryland.
